S. Cromer, chairman of Abbeville associa- tional committee, who has pointed cut that this effort to wipe out the unsecured indebtedness of the institution would come to a close on Mother’s Day,, May 14, with special services in ail Baptist Churches of the State. “A goal amounting to but 75 States. Miss Pressly explained that John J. Corson, Director of .the Bureau of Old-Age Insurance, had announced in June 1938 that cents from each Baptist of the j statements cf wage credits for State has been set for this pro- j 1937 could be obtained for the gram, and if the drive comes to a asking. It was also stated at that successful close on Mother’s Day, the hospital authorities have reasons to believe additional gifts of large sums can be secured,” Rev. B. H. Laughridge, Director, pointed out. The appeal has a three-fold purpose—to wipe out the opera ting indebtedness of the hospital I time that, for the wage earner’s convenience, post-card inquiry forms had been made available at all Social Security Board field Program ! offices. An employee, it was sug gested, could obtain one of these forms either by writing to the Hieh School aid recipients are selected on the basis of need, since the purpose of the NYA student aid program is to “give r» lift” to young neople who might find it otherwise financially im possible to attend high school. They receive a maximum of 20 cents an hour but may not work more than 20 hours or earn more than $4 a month. This amount enables them to buv needed school supplies, meals and, occasionally, ’’mall articles of necessary cloth ing. Certain scholastic requirements amounting to approximately $50,- manager of the office or by a | must be met; the students having personal call. It was also explain- . maintain certain average ed that the manager would assist 000; pay $8,500 on the institu- any applicant in filling it out and tion’s bonded debt; and complete in answering any questions con- a program of improvement and expansion to the hospital’s plant on Marion Street in Columbia. Each Baptist of the State has been asked to contribute but 75 cents to the program, a sum esti mated by the hospital trustees as sufficient to make the drive a success, and every Baptist Church in South Carolina will conduct special services calling attention to the effort on Mother’s Day, May 14. A State-wide committee led by the Rev. B. H. Laughridge, of Lancaster, director; and Dr. W. M. Whiteside, superintendent of the hospital, who is also serving as superintendent of the appeal, leads the Baptists in the hos pital’s program. tX± More Than 98 Per Cent Of cerning the old-age insurance pro gram. Since then these forms have been made available by many union labor headquarters, offices of business concerns, and other organizations. The greater part of the requests for statements of earnings, Miss Pressly explained, have come from workers who had some doubt that the wages they had earned had been reported by their em ployers. To all requests the Bu reau of Old-Age Insurance has replied promptly and in many cases has been able to locate the missing wage items and credit them to the wage earner’s ac count. In cases where the ac counting section of the Bureau has not been able to do this, it grades and carry not less than three fourths of a full course of study. They are selected bv the NYA, on recommendation of the respective school authorities, up to quotas allowed each school. Doctor Coe emphasized that the student aid program was “abso lutely not a dole system” as he asserted, “Those youngsters work for every cent they make.” The oart time work done by fv.o<< e ccoole includes cleri cal and stenographic work in huiooi offices; filing, cataloguing and general sunervision in school libraries, buildings and erounds maintenance and beautification and class room, laboratory and school kitchen and dining room assistance. Such work a^s these students do. Doctor Coe said, does not compete with private labor. “The appreciation shown by the McCormick county commu nities in which these student aid activities are being carried on is most encouraging.” the state NYA director commented. “It makes us feel our efforts are most worth- RUST...

That's why he urges fou to use a nitro- gen-potdih mixture. He can supply you nit^ggen qx*d NV POTASH in a quick-acting, well-balanced mixture. If you have already purchased straight nitrogen for top-dressing, he will suggest that you take some NV MURIATE or NV KAINIT to use with this when you chop out. He knows that every year thousands of fanners top-dress with NV POTASH because it produces many extra pounds of valuable seed cotton. He knows that extensive tests by leading experiment stations prove that extra potash produces a healthy, high- yielding, high-quality crop. For instance the North Carolina Ex periment Station top-dressed cotton, which had shown heavy Rust damage in the past, with 50 to 100 pounds of MURIATE or 125 to 250 pounds of KAINIT per acre. "Plats receiving the additional amount of potash produced larger yields, heavier seed, heavier bolls, more lint per seed, better grade, longer staple, stronger fibers and a higher percentage of normal fibers." When your fertilizer man advises you to STOP RUST and START PROFITS, he wants to help you make more money. Follow his advice. Top- dress with NV POTASH this year. It Pays! N.
